PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent the overflow of carrier accompanied with the output improvement of a semiconductor laser or the deterioration of a heat saturation level and kink level. SOLUTION: This method for manufacturing a semiconductor light emitting device has a process for growing a laminate semiconductor layer 11, a process for forming a ridge groove 22 and a process for forming a conductive prevention layer in the ridge groove. The process for forming the ridge groove 22 has first and second anisotropic etching processes and an isotropic etching process. In the first anisotropic etching process, the ridge groove which is not deep enough to cross an etching stop layer 7 is formed from the surface of the laminate semiconductor layer, and an etching mask is formed. In the second anisotropic etching process, the etching mask formed at the bottom of the groove is removed. In the isotropic etching process, etching is carried out to the etching stop layer 7, and the ridge groove only whose bottom is taper-shaped is formed. Afterward, a conduction preventing layer is selectively formed in the ridge groove. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI

After the resist mask 22 is removed, the entire surface is subjected again to the reactive ion etching method, by which the remaining embedment film 21 is removed.
